WEP Australia is offering a valuable cultural exchange opportunity to Australian primary and high schools to assist qualified Australian teachers in contemporary linguistic and cultural classroom acitivities. Our participants are university students or recent graduates, who intend to pursue a career in education in their home country. This is an amazing opportunity for Australian students to experience a rewarding intercultural exchange and enabling them to have access to a native speaker in and beyond the classroom for a term, semester or even a year!
In return, schools provide our assistants with a stimulating and supportive full-time working environment, an opportunity to gain classroom experience, a reasonable standard of accommodation and meals.
